This rather bulky looking wall wart is really a computer mouse. Sure, it may cause your hand to cramp horribly if utilized for any type of length of time. however some would state it’s worth that for the hipster value of the thing.
The rather strange shape is somewhat explained by the truth that this was sourced from Ikea. After gutting the transformer discovered inside the plastic situation he had lots of space to work with. He drilled a hole to ensure that the sensor from a Logitech USB optical mouse can pick up the motion of the mouse. He likewise got quite innovative when it concerned the buttons. The two prongs of the wall plug pivot horizontally to impact the short-lived press switches inside.
After the break you can see a quick demo of the project. [Alec] doesn’t think about it to be complete. He wishes to make a couple of enhancements which include adding weight to make it feel much more like the original wall wart, as well as discovering a method to hide the hole he drilled for the sensor.
